Details On The Steve Phillips Scandal

Baseball analyst Steve Phillips had an extra-marital affair with a production assistant.

And bringing this possibly dangerous individual into this family's orbit was the final straw for Steve Phillips' wife Marni. Evidently, she filed for divorce in the last few weeks.
